But Suarez has won more in England during the last two-and-a-half years than Arsenal have during the last eight.

And it could be argued that with Arsenal’s more solid financial footing and the vast revenue from their Emirates Stadium, then Champions League football is the least they should be aiming for.

Comolli was also a bit cheeky to suggest Liverpool are a top-eight club, not least as it was him that sanctioned so much money to be spent on players who have so far been unable to take the club back into the top four.

Rodgers continues to strengthen his squad, but the big-money bid for Diego Costa of Atletico Madrid is a curious one.

Being a Brazilian striker carries a certain kudos. But if Jo was in the Brazil squad ahead of Costa at the Confederations Cup, then I wouldn’t be paying £20m for him.

However, Rodgers and his scouting network know what they are doing, as has been shown so far by the form of Iago Aspas.

Aspas did well in Steven Gerrard’s testimonial as a split striker, which is the way Liverpool are going to go under Rodgers.

Rather than just rely on one central forward, all of the front three will be expected to score.

That might include Suarez. It might not. Either way, something definitive has to happen soon. We’re all becoming bored of it.
